Suffolk County Half Marathon

Congrats to Marist Running Alum Mark Valentino for his strong showing at last Sunday’s Suffolk County Half Marathon. Tino finished second out of 1,172 finishers in 1:16:34.8 (5:50 pace), running what appeared to be a negative-split effort. Tino will be the first to admit that his training has not been optimal for a fast half-marathon performance. But alas! It was. Nicely done! Also at the race, Tino’s mom, Louise Valentino, placed 297th out of 697 in the 5-kilometer race in 32:05.31. For those keeping score at home, this means Louise was ahead of 400 other entrants. Pretty neat!
